Open Source as We Know It Is Dead
A widely shared essay argues that open source as traditionally understood is effectively dead, sparking debate among developers about licensing, cloud providers monetizing open-source projects, and the sustainability of community-driven software. Commenters are divided, with some agreeing that major companies exploit free code without giving back, while others insist the open-source model remains vital and evolving rather than finished.
Why now: Ongoing tensions over big tech monetizing open-source projects without contributing back have reignited debate about the model's future.
